thank God you now agree with me.comparing them is like comparing father and son.to the issue of where did odudwa came frm..wil first ask you are you a creationist or an evolutionist...lemme help you with this önly two important individual was exiled/banised* from benin and edo.fist was voluntry exile of prince ekadaha or so and ovomramwen in 1897.also the most simila name in edobenin history to odudwa was erediauwa...so let start.

YoruBadGoon:
These Bini folks are starting to irk. We need to teach them the history of their overrated kingdom that thrived on fables and jejune tales. Bini kingdom's might thrived on outright lies - the only great thing it achieved came from those great artworks. And the knowledge of those artworks came from Owo and Ife.

Bini kingdom NEVER even conquered any relevant kingdom. You never conquered Igala kingdom, all the skirmishes had no victor or vanquished. You NEVER conquered Owo, it was a stalemate. You were scared of Dahomey and never went to war with the kingdom. You NEVER conquered Ijebu. You NEVER conquered Nupe. And to your east, you didn't even trouble the Igbos and Ijaws. Itsekiris sold you as slaves. Your only achievement outside ya small Bini fortress with a moat, was art and craft. Heck, Ogedengbe the Ijesha warrior, almost took the war to ya land and you had to placate him with a gift. Apart from building a tiny camp in tiny Eko, on Aworiland, with the help of the Ilajes - what else was the achievement of Bini kingdom?

Bini kingdom wasn't an empire - it was a kingdom populated by Edoid groups. Oyo on the other hand was an empire cos it had non-Yoruboid groups, from Bariba, to Fon etc.. Don't ever compare ya small kingdom that's only known for artworks birthed by Ife and Owo to anything Yoruba. You worship Yoruba orishas. Your kingship is Yoruba. And even in your Oba's palace, Yoruba used to be the language used for everything - yet you have this nauseating way of getting ahead of yourselves like you're actually better than what you're. Stop it. I still don't know how a small landlocked kingdom started worshipping Olokun. Who gave you Olokun, the most revered god in Biniland - if not Ijebus and Ilajes - Yoruba subgroups?

Fall back - the Ooni has spoken. Bini's throne came from Yorubas and you're the little brother. Stop punching above ya height cos of artworks.

These are Myths and Folklore's. These was never Sango or whatever.

Btw is it not the same Ooni that goes kneeling before Tinubu and Obasanjo to be nominated and installed as ooni. He should read his history books if his father did not.

Mekwen:
Let your Oba go & bow to the Ooni,that's all.

AlPeter:
the edo gave them Olokun.

ritababe:


all i want to hear is where oduduwa ur yoruba father came from?

Mekwen:
Even the Oba of Benin has a price.It only has not been found out.

ritababe:

I even thought dz young ooni was enlighten enough nw z here talkn abt wat he dnt knw ...d ancient benin kingdom z d most legendary and respected monarhical empire world wide ..even d queen of england no reach oba of benin ..nt to talk of ordinary Ooni making false accusation dat edo state z forge from yoruba land thru oduduwa ...edo have their own language lyk bini,esan,estako,auchi etc etc ...i knw sum yoruba reside in benin bt i dnt knw hw dy get there ...bt d oba of benin has z own class nd cant b match by any king in d world nt to talk of a yoruba king ...

blazetitov:

“The Ooni of Ife, by historical facts, is a son of the Oba of Benin, so they are not in the same class".

How can the guy from benin be contradicting himself by saying the Ooni of Ife was a son of the Oba of Benin and at the same time saying that the Oba of Benin stool has no relationship with the Yoruba race. I don't get it.

Christane:
Am well grounded in history ...it av bin long dat yorubas av bin oppressing d edo becus we are a single state nd dy are lyk 7 to 8 ...nd becus dy are among d majority wch form wazobia ...it z well written dat d first man in lagos z a benin man nd z d one dat name lagos eko which d yoruba adopted nd turn lagos to a yoruba land nd 4got abt d bini man dat first came to lagos dy av bin oppressing d benin people nd edo state at large with their vast population nw dy want to claim edo state nd put it in a yoruba map as part of a yoruba king nd even comparing their Ooni of our great Oba ...wat even d queen of england cnt compare ...wat did this young Ooni of a king knw he dat z a virgin wen it cums to historical matters dat av to do wit monarhical system ...he shud shut up nd dwell in d developing of d yoruba race ...edo state z 2 big 4 him to claim ..

lol this is 21st century where most people believe God creatd the earth on 7days.sister rita you are subborn o.believe whatever you wish to believe.av tried my best as an educator.

ritababe:


well check wikipedia though i saw in book which i cant remember the name, but if u still insist he came from the sky, then i will say i win you

iamkneeyi:
Just wanna send you a message? Go and ask your parent or elders in Benin if the heads of Oba in Benin are usually buried in Ife in the olden days? This is a confirm facts that even your chiefs in the Benin can't denied..if that is so...I wonder why the Oba of Benin is higher than Ooni of Ife ?

hotwax:


Egbas and Ijebu discovered Lagos. They traded with Benin and Portugues. They sold artworks, Slaves, religion beliefs to Benins.

Why do benin worship Sango?

ESU ?

Obatala?

Be warded in knowledge and not just ethnic rants. We are one.

And when you guys trace your root, you fail. You dont know your root. Just because you hate Yorubas you are trying to erase your origin.

A Benin guy was saying Benins were from Igbo Land...I cried for him

loschivatos:
“The Ooni of Ife, by historical facts, is a son of the Oba of Benin, so they are not in the same class. The Oba of Benin is the only one that answers Oba, the rest don’t. But today, we hear Oba here and there, they are all recent adaptations. I am saying categorically that the word Oba is indigenous to Benin and not to Yoruba nation.”

Oba gha-to-pere...

ritababe:


na u sabi, all i know be say oduduwa your progenist was a bini prince, and a bini by tribe meaning an edo man create yoruba

brownlord:


Smart man, was there anything like Yoruba kingdom before Ododuwa was alleged to have descended from the sky?
